Google Cloud Functions for GraphQL API using Node.js, Express.js, Apollo Server and MongoDB 🚀

Installation

1. Make sure you're using the properly node version for the project which is 18

Note: If you're using nvm, there is a .nvmrc file for the project so you just need to run nvm use. Otherwise, you have to check it on your own.

2. Run yarn in order to install all the required dependencies

How to run

Please, follow these steps to ensure the app successfully runs.

1. Copy the .env.example file into the root of the project and name it .env. Once you have done this, replace the value for the environment variable DATABASE_URI with the URI of your database.
2. Run the following command yarn start to run the functions locally.

There are other commands which could be helpful in the development process:

• Run yarn start:dev to run the functions locally and watch for file changes (hot reload).

Database

• Run yarn db:seed to run the database seeds and populate your database with initial data.
